The grand old cotton tree in front of Merdeka Palace (hotel), I was told, is about a century old!!!! And yesterday was the first time I ever in my whole 30 odd years of life have seen it blooming with cotton. I didn’t even know it’s a cotton tree! 
When it’s not blooming with cotton, it looks like any other grand old tree…green and mighty.

Naahhhhh… just cotton flying around! But would you have believed me if the weather isn’t this hot?!
The cotton tree in front of Merdeka Palace is blooming and when the wind blows the cotton flies every where. Padang Merdeka, well at least part of it, has turned into a cotton field.
I saw a family especially the kids were having fun running around chasing and picking the cotton. As for me I was enjoying the wind, sunset and green green grass of home

I can’t stop talking about food… life is either you “eat to live” or you “live to eat”. I’m lucky to live in this multi-cultural land where I can have different kinds food…curry rice (Malay/Indian), bamboo chicken (Iban), or kolomee (Hakka) for my breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, tea break, brunch and those ‘tiny’ meals in between
Bak-chang – glutinous rice with pork cooked in spices
The picture below has homemade sushi in the background and angkukueh on foreground. Angkukueh is made of glutinous rice flour for the red/green ’skin’ and it’s filled with beans paste or some like in this angkukueh recipe filled with peanuts.
One of my favourite… yuchakueh (deep-fried fritters). Great with laksa gravy or dunk in a hot kopi-o!!
This is panggang. Panggang is actually a Malay word means grill. This is glutinous rice with sambal fillers wrapped in banana leaf and grilled over coal. It is delicious.
And this is agar-agar. Agar-agar is firmer than jelly (jello) and it is a bit ‘crunchy’. I love agar-agar with coconut milk flavour.

It is a hot hot Sunday!!
I went to Sunday market this morning to have a look around. Fresh produces were going on lelong (cheap) because Sunday market usually have to close by 12noon. The council personnels were seen asking traders to pack up.
This trader was selling lekor (deep fried fish cake). Lekor is eaten with lots of chili sauce!
A stall selling cold drinks
This guy is juicing sugarcanes
